    as i am also guilty of making alecs anvil steam by forging in the hardy hole, i agree that it works well, and it didnt damage his anvil, so why not use it ?

    vaughns are great, but making hardie tools can be a pain as some have 2" hardie holes!!

    Roses

    monty replied to Nolano's topic in Copper Alloys

    you could try fullering in around the position the leaves wrap around, so it cannot slip. just a thought. nice rose!

    the opposite, the more mass is used to rebound the impact from the hammer and in a sense hit from below, taking energy away "bleeding away " as you put it would have negative consequences. essentially, the more mass=greater rebound=less work for you, less mass/shock absorbant material=less rebound=more work for you hope this helps, monty

    Sconce help

    monty replied to Karn3's topic in Problem Solving

    i agree with ThomasPowers, to attach the wax catchers,i would either braze them on, or a similar thing to what i did this morning, clamp the spike in a vse and hammer the wax catcher down with a monkey tool, or log with a hole in it
